Uzumaki (Spiral)

[SailorUnicornMoon]

i think the movie looks ok though i haven't seen it yet even though i'm pretty sure the manga is waay better :). i read the manga already and it was great.

[tisokan]

This movie was awful, they made it before the manga \ended so it ends just horribly. i was so excited to see the last couple volumes in movie form cause they were so amazing, but then i got sad when they didnt show.

[TheMadMadchen]

the manga is good, the movie is just terrible

[aiyummi]

lol that was funny ^^

[vidlisa131]

i love the manga

[darqflix]

I still have yet to read it

[thewordthatpierces]

God the manga, I read it about a year ago, it has to be one of the creepiest things I've ever seen or read, you'll never think of a spiral the same way again!

God Bless ~Amy

I love that Manga it is Scary but it interesred me well Haha

[blahsan13]

how disipointing i just started the manga and i now know not to bother with this movie XD

[IMOVAHERE]

Too much CGI FUCKERS! I'm ashamed to own this dvd. Original Grudge fan here and always and The Ring before it became mainstream. Most mainstream movies just aren't creepy. Give me any of the movies from the 8 films To Die For series before any of that cookie cutter garbage.

[IMOVAHERE]

Does anybodey else thinks this looks like a Japanese Goosebumps episode. Lmao

Creepy me thinks not.

[negativedialectic]

IMOVAHERE: Did you watch Uzumaki. The Ring and Grudge aren't even in the same league. Uzumaki plays with the conventions--is a self-conscious, original, intelligent take on Japanese horror. Japanese Goosebumps? You're joking right?

[IMOVAHERE]

*time travels* amazing.. o_O Lol Japanese Goosebumps, awh i LOVE my past self!!! ok negativedialectic ah. yeah.. i watched it. i own the dvd. the idea might be self-conscious. the presentation, acting, design (shitty CGI) doesn't reinforce its originality. No hard feelings. I see you dig this movie. Thats' cool. We're different people. I still stand by my year old comment, don't let it rain on your parade tho.

[negativedialectic]

IMOVAHERE

Ok then, the film didn't work for you.

I actually thought you were complaining because there was CGI at all, not reflecting on the quality of it. The movie is 10 years old and directed by an indie director, so it should be put into that context. I thought the effects were actually more interesting than those in some big budget films. I've seen lots of Japanese cinema and found U. more creative and original than many of Japanese the films that have been marked in the west.

@negativedialectic

let me preface this by saying i bought

the dvd because it had an interesting

premise. in the end it fell short for my

taste.

Cool, i prefer more of the indie stuff myself.

Low budget horror films are the best. They

tend to be less cliche. So see we agree

on something.

[xarmi]

Epic fail... the movie sux!

But the manga ruuulezzz!!!

[SpeedMetal4635]

pffff that don´t scare me, it´s for kids.

[nelsong33]

this was a bad ending to the movie but it was like one of the best sences...i liked the movie...evan tho it wasnt that good

[KingOfFiji]

They should of waited for the manga to end.

[nelsong33]

yea....dont they have like only 3 books tho?they should mix it all together instead of just some of the first book

[KingOfFiji]

Yeah there was enough in the three books to make a pretty decent movie.
